Meade Skelton is a genius. He was reinvented these older songs and made them his own. Not only does he have a great way with a phrase and spectactular tenor voice, he has taken these songs and made them new and fresh sounding. I used to hear Frank Sinatra's version of "Fly Me To The Moon" thinking "ho hum" But after hearing Meade do it- I love it ! I love each song on here. My favorite has to be "I Think We Are In Love". I played it for my girlfriend, and we both agree thats the song they are going to play at our wedding next May!

Opening with a tour-de-force plush song this CD justs keeps getting better - Meade Skelton is very gifted performer, a talent like this should be heard. Meade hits each key and note with soothing ambient warmth. The original piece "Nicole Will You Marry Me?" is a catchy ode to dreaming lovers. You'll be singin it in the shower lol. This CD will stay in your player.

Songs of Love is the 3rd Cd for singer/ songwriter Meade Skelton. Recorded live it contains some of the best love songs of the past and two orginal compositions. The 1st of the new songs "Nicole, Will You Marry Me" is a whimsical look at a marriage proposal as it might be sung to Nicole Kidman by one of her many male fans. The 2nd "I Think We Are In Love" is a beautiful love song and my favorite of this album.
This CD is a departure from the country style of the previous CD's and shows there is another side to this talented entertainer.

I liked this CD, and it was a surprise. Normally, Im not a fan of standards, but Meade re-does them in a new, fresh, interesting way. As if these old songs are being done for the first time. He has a very easy on the ears voice, and the piano playing is good. Would like to hear a few more instruments, but the CD is still worthy of vocal/piano style. So I enjoyed it very much. If you like vocal/piano music, this album is for you.

I should have known better when I saw the demented oompa loompa staring up from the piano on the cover, but I do loves me some love songs.

I'm not sure if I can ever listen to these classics again without a twinge of pain. Remember the episode of the Brady Bunch where Peter's voice was starting to change? This sounded sort of like that, somehow the Brady's figured out a way to make it work, but this singer has not, and since I would assume he's already gone through puberty, this could be a problem for him in his music career.

And when Meade Skelton is thinking of his Nicole Kidman song in the shower, I doubt that he's singing, more like planning how he will kidnap her and go all Silence Of The Lambs on her, "Nicole Rubs the lotion on it's skin and puts it back in the basket."

I like the classic songs on this album, but I hated the way this Meade Skelton character butchered them. I felt like my ears were bleeding after hearing his hideous catterwalling. If Frank Sinatra hadn't already passed away, this would have killed him.

I haven't seen Meade Skelton in person, but I know those that have, he's considered something of a village idiot in Richmond. As bad as he is, I wish that he would become successful enough to move away, I don't want to chance walking in on one of his shows anywhere.

And I just have to add my two cents about that stalker anthem about Nicole Kidman....WTF????

I saw Meade perform many of these songs at a live show in Ashland, Virginia. I was very impressed with Meade. Meade has one of the purest voices I have ever heard. The songs selection on this CD are some of the finest songs ever written and Meade performs them effortlessly. If you want to hear true talent and wonderful music with feeling and passion, then this Album is for you. I have enjoyed this CD so much, and even my husband, who usually is disdainful for this kind of music (He's a Metal guy) enjoys this Album as well.

Wow, just.......wow. I am speechless, this CD was complete garbage, not even worthy of being used as a coaster. I wouldn't even know where to start with my critique. Just avoid it like the plague.
